I really need some advice here. I’ve been dealing with chronic facial inflammation for four years now, and I'm only 18. I see a dermatologist regularly—one of the top specialists in Cleveland—but honestly, it feels like I'm just running in circles. I go in for professional facials every three months and I stay strictly on top of my skincare routine, but nothing seems to stick. I might see a little improvement for about ten days after a treatment, but then everything just reverts to how it was before. The only time I saw any real progress was last year when I was on a 15-day course of antibiotics, but even then, a month later, I was right back where I started. Also, if you ask me, all these different creams actually make my skin feel *oilier*. I'm at a loss because I desperately want to get this under control. Part of me wonders if this is all psychological, but it's hard not to feel extra stressed when I wake up and see my face looking even redder than usual. 🤷 If I were skipping my professional cleanings, I'd have an answer for you, but I'm being super consistent and still seeing zero results.
Any suggestions?
